Sunglasses For YOUR Face Shape!

With Summer just around the corner, everyone is looking at a new pair of sunnies!  This can be difficult since there are so many types around and so Spectacle is going to help you decide because Spectacle Loves You!

Round Face Shape

People with a more round face shape should stay with frames that have an angular appearance.  Angled lenses will help define your facial features and highlight your features!  A great frame for a round face type is Thierry Lasry  Glazy shades!

Thierry Lasry is a very fashion-forward brand and the Glazy is a stunning frame.
Available now at Queen St. Spectacle!

Square Face Shape

Those with a square face shape should stick to more rounded frames.  Round styles are extremely popular in the industry right now and we would recommend the MOSCOT Lemtosh.  This frame is also very popular among celebrities such as Johnny Depp!

Heart Face Shape

Up swept or butterfly style frames are the best for heart shaped faces because they distract from a narrow chin and a high forehead.  A great frame for this face shape is the Linda Farrow Prabal Gurung!

The Linda Farrow Prabal Gurung is angled upwards and very stylish! 
Available soon at the Queen St. location!

Oval Face Shape

If you have an oval shaped face, you're in luck!  An oval face is well suited to any style of frame.  We love the ic! berlin Fruhlingstraum frame.  It is perfect for Spring and Summer and is a light frame you can wear anytime!

This ic! berlin frame is perfect for everyday wear. 
Coming to the Queen St. location!

Happy birthday to Salvador Dali!  A surrealist painter from Spain, his artistic repertoire includes film, sculpture, photography, and collaborations with many other artists.

Dali's most famous piece, the "Persistence of Memory"

Dali was very eccentric and attention-grabbing in public.  He had a strong interest in science and based many of his paintings on scientific publications.

Dali's work even inspired a scene from The Simpsons!

Dali also had a pet ocelot which he named Babou!

La Loop: The Must-Have Fashion Accessory for All Eyewear Lovers!

La Loop

We have some brand new La Loop necklace models in at all 3 Spectacle locations!  La Loop was created by designer Elizabeth Faraut based on necessity - she wanted a place to keep her eyewear when not using it that still looked fashionable.  Elizabeth even still travels to trade shows to personally choose gems and stones to be used!

I am very honoured and grateful for the result".  We couldn't agree more!
